維摩經略疏垂裕記 5.162

5.162

二、訶耳等四根，二：初、示所訶失。「不了耳空」等者，不了好惡音聲如空谷響，致怖富家歡樂好聲，不難貧家憂苦惡聲。不了香臭因風，風無香臭，既香與風等，是則無富家氛氳妨道之可避，貧家羶臊非妨之可近。不了法無定性，由分別取相謂之為味，若不分別則非味也。是以食天饌而不染、餐苦澁而不惡，何必捨富美食取貧惡食耶？中略其二，故云乃至。「如智證」者，荊溪云：如智契理，以證得理，故於觸時當如以智觸實相也。由不了故，出觀受觸，於富貧床敷情有去取。「惡取好捨」者，貧里四塵則取，豪家四塵則捨也。

Second, the reproach regarding the ear and the other four sense faculties has two [parts]: first, showing the faults reproached. As for 'not understanding that the ear is empty,' etc.: not understanding that pleasing and displeasing sounds are like echoes in an empty valley, he was caused to fear the pleasing sounds of joy and pleasure in rich households, while not finding difficult the displeasing sounds of sorrow and suffering in poor households. Not understanding that fragrance and stench are dependent on wind, and that wind has neither fragrance nor stench—since fragrance is equal with wind—there was in fact no thick fragrance of rich households impeding the path that needed to be avoided, nor was there any rank stench of poor households that was non-impeding and to be approached. Not understanding that dharmas have no fixed nature, and that it is due to discriminatively grasping at signs that one calls something a 'flavor'—if one does not discriminate, then it is not a flavor. Therefore, one may eat celestial delicacies without defilement, and consume bitter, astringent foods without aversion; why must one abandon rich, exquisite food to take poor, coarse food? The middle two are omitted, hence it says 'and so forth.' Regarding 'attaining realization like wisdom': Jingxi says, 'Conforming to the principle like wisdom, because of realizing and attaining the principle, one should, at the time of touch, touch the true reality as if with wisdom.' Because of not understanding this, upon exiting contemplation and receiving touch, his mind had preferences of rejection and acceptance regarding the beddings of rich and poor. As for 'grasping the bad and abandoning the good,' he grasped the four sense objects of poor neighborhoods and abandoned the four sense objects of wealthy houses.
